Australian cricket is in crisis following coach Mickey Arthur's decision to ax vice-captain Shane Watson, batsman Usman Khawaja, and bowlers Mitchell Johnson and James Pattinson from the team to face India after they failed to do their homework.

The decision, backed by captain Michael Clarke, has made the once-mighty Australians the 'laughing stock of world cricket' according to pundits. Former players including Mark Waugh and Shane Warne have lambasted the decision, call it something that would happen in schoolboy cricket.

Others have said Arthur's 'line in the sand' is just the kick up the backside an underperforming Australian team needs. One thing's for sure, however. Australia needs to get its act together, and quickly. Otherwise the Ashes will be just the latest spanking for these naughty schoolboys!
